Eagle Eye (2008)
5/10
Seen It All Before
24 November 2008
D.J. Caruso and Steven Spielberg team up to give us a fun and utterly forgettable roller-coaster ride.

Almost-intense Shia LaBeouf goes on the run from a faceless pursuer who turns out to be harder to evade than initially meets the eye. Meanwhile, almost-hysterical Michelle Monaghan races against time to save her son from a menace that turns out to be more... well... menacing than initially meets the eye.

I noted a problem in chemistry between the lead actors, and I think it has to do with the 10-year age gap between them.

Despite LaBeouf's valiant attempt to sport a goatee, he only ends up looking look a guy trying to look older than he is.

He would have done better to rather embrace the boy-toyish sub-text resulting from the casting decisions, and just celebrate the manifestly MILF-ish complexion of his burgeoning intentions with single-mom Monaghan.

You've seen this movie before if you watched "Stealth" 2 or 3 years back. And only the eagle-eyed among you will have enjoyed the eagle-eye-candy in the form of Jessica Biel in a hot bikini!
